PREGNANCY

Pregnancy and childbirth is a beautiful miracle, but can undoubtedly have some unpleasant side effects such as stretch marks, varicose veins and weak pelvic floor. In addition to this is the possibility of a difficult labour with a variety of complications. Stretch marks, varicose veins, induced initiation of labour can all be prevented or minimised with the use of virgin coconut oil, both included in your normal diet and as a body moisturiser.

The use of virgin coconut oil as body/hair lotion and massaging oil keep the skin supple and prevent the formation of stretch marks on your stomach, breast, legs and buttocks. It will also reduce the likelihood of varicose veins. Stretch marks should be attended to early or before they show up, i.e. before pregnancy or immediately pregnancy occurs as stretch marks can be challenging to “treat” after they have assumed deep indentations. Massage with virgin coconut oil, at least once a day but preferably twice a day.

Also, including virgin coconut oil in your diet supports the cervix to undergo natural physiological changes required to start labour. This makes it far less likely for induction of labour. Additionally, the risk of congenital disorders such as metabolic, neural and autoimmune diseases e.g. autism, Down’s syndrome, etc. and childhood obesity are greatly reduced.

Virgin coconut oil in the “artificial” diet for the post lactating child (breast milk) helps to prevent herpes, autism, yeast infection, childhood asthma and many childhood ailments and diseases and strengthens the child’s five senses including eyesight, hearing, speech, feeling and the reflexes.
